Local news has done a report on a kid that got over heated on a school bus yesterday and the lunitics are out in full force demanding ac in the buses . About half of them are saying it's hotter now than it was years ago . I just posted the historic weAther for Alabama and it was 112 in 1925 . I'm sure I will get some backlash for calling them entitled and they should Park the buses and let them walk or parents figure out how to get them to school.

We got A/C in school here in Texas about '72/'73 Before then the choice seats were desks within the path of the articulating fan, if we were lucky to have a fan in that classroom. We were not allowed to wear shorts to school back then. Our busses had windows. Shade trees had much more value then. In HS it was football practice in full gear. No water. Going without water was part of the conditioning. Thankfully they have learned better now. I am certain we were all dehydrated at the end of practice every day. You could wring the sweat out of your T shirts. Prune toes from soaking wet socks.
We live in a finger pointing era. A kid sitting in his bus seat should not get overheated. There had to be physical interaction of some sort. Does that bus have a video cam ?

She was bitchin yesterday morning that when she started her route it was 138 deg in her bus. I told her to let the windows down , I had no pity for them. I rode a school bus for 10 years first to get on last to get off 1.5 hrs twice a day. My mom was the bus driver. |

I rode the bus from the 2nd grade to graduation. Here in Tennessee the humidity and heat gets high, and every bus window was down. There were many gravel roads and I remember the dust boiling up behind the bus, and when it stopped, the dust would fly back in the windows coating everyone. There were a few dips in the road where the kids would hold on to the back of the seat in front of them, and bounce up and down right before they hit the dip. It would rocket you up high in the seat as we all found it to be fun. We lived through the heat.
